Looking back in the 1960s, bacon and eggs showed up at breakfast, and roast beef and gravy were on America's dinner plates. Lunch may or may not have been another meaty meal. And then McDonald's arrived, as did Burger King, Wendy's, and Pizza Hut. These fast foods introduced the concept of quick meals. They were not selling broccoli, carrots, and omelets.

Even in the smallest towns, these fast food restaurants steer in a load of meat, cheese, and soda; this resulted in huge intake of calories and sugars in our diet resulting in bad health and obesity. Every year, it is getting worse. And the saddest part is that nowadays the importance of having a well nourished breakfast idea is not given much importance.

Many people still do not know about the power of nourishing eating, rather they just are told about diet plans and are almost annoyed with them. Well it's not always about dieting; rather it's a whole new way of thinking about foods, a new way of living- living healthy!

Sometimes people are in a hurry and grab a cupcake or any baked dessert and run off for work or school. Sometimes they even skip it to save their time..
